Noah Parker

Noah Parker is a Canadian film and television actor,[1] most noted for his leading role in the youth drama series Six degrés.[2]

Born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, he grew up in a fluently bilingual household with a québécois mother and an immigrant father from New Zealand, and has appeared in both anglophone and francophone film and television productions.[3] He had a regular role in the ensemble drama series 30 vies in the 2013-14 season, and had other supporting roles in film and television until being cast in a regular role in L'Échappée in 2018.[1] He also appeared in the films Squat (Ailleurs), A Brother's Love (La femme de mon frère) and Goddess of the Fireflies (La déesse des mouches à feu).[4]

Six degrés, which premiered in 2021, saw Parker starring as Léon Forest, a visually impaired teenager.[2] For his performance in the series, he won two Gémeaux Awards for Best Actor in a Youth Series, in 2021[5] and 2022.[6]

In 2022 he also portrayed Justin, a teen cancer patient, in the first season of Les bracelets rouges, the Quebec adaptation of The Red Band Society, but left the series due to a scheduling conflict and was replaced in the second season by Antoine L'Écuyer.[7]

He has since appeared in leading and supporting roles in the films Who by Fire (Comme le feu),[8] Out Standing (Seule au front)[9] and Lunar Sway.[10]
